Witness the birth of a new extreme sport, which, apparently, it will be called Heli Drifting. The man that jumped from space, Felix Baumgartner, is attempting to launch Heli Drifting with the help of Red Bull. Red Bull also enabled him make his stratosphere jump three years ago. In a Gymkhana style video, Baumgartner pilots a helicopter and takes on a modified Toyota GT 86 in a drift battle on the race track. The clip includes an attack helicopter, a MIG jetfighter and other military vehicles. Felix flies an Bolkov BO105 aerobatic helicopter, while the 1,000 hp Toyota GT 86 drift car is begin driven by Jakub Przygonski. The clip was filmed on an empty airfield in Debrzno, Poland.
Felix Baumgartner is an Austrian skydiver. On 14 October 2012 he jumped from an altitude of 41.42 km (25.74 mils / 135,890 feet) using a helium filled balloon. During his jump he reached speeds of 1,357.64 km/h (843.6 mph), which is more than the speed of sound.
